LifeQuest from BFG

Also I am playing LifeQuest which is #1 on BFG right now and is a Big Fish Studios game.
(with an interesting very personal Special Thanks in the credits - apparently it is dedicated to the mom of one of the designers).

Very appropriate for Mother's Day.

Very addictive.

PuzzleBots



OMG. The demo for Puzzle Bots (and the game itself) is very very good.

Very quick thoughts
- lasted close to an hour (good)
- I felt engaged the whole time - just the right amount of challenge - had to click HINT twice (two separate questions) and hint was very logical, provoked a "duh!" moment (Oh, I would have got that...)
- character and story development very good. Zander and Yuriko as a very cute almost couple (and story hints at a triangle with a new scientist being hired into lab - Zander thinks she's cute).
- I always love the theme of small things (the robots) in a big world, and seeing the impact of what I do while controlling the robots (for example the coffee maker "spaceship" that launches the 2 robots across the break room).
